    This error message can be removed by adding in your /etc/modprobe.conf :

    alias sound_slot_1 off

    Looks the same as my IBM Thinkpad T30. Have you checked that the volume
    was properly set? You can try this by going to a console and, as root, type:

    alsamixer

    It should show you a volume control screen where you can press
    left-right and up-down. If there's an MM on top of the bar, press "M" to
    unmute it. Generally you need to set the volume for "Master" and "PCM".
    And, since your modprobe.conf is properly configured, it should save the
    volumes on unload of the sound modules (shutdown) and should reload to
    last saved state on loading of the module (poweron).

    Hope this helps.
